Study: Dinosaurs 'pole-vaulted' aloft

Tue, 11/16/2010 - 10:55 by Prince damin

Pittsburgh -- The ongoing argument over whether enormous prehistoric winged dinosaurs could fly has some U.S. researchers claiming the creatures "pole-vaulted" into the air.

The study, by Mark Witton from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom and Michael Habib from Chatham University in Pittsburgh contradicts recent assertions that the creatures were flightless and offers an explanation of how they took to the air, ScienceDaily.com reported.

Whitton and Habib say the giant reptiles, known as pterosaurs, took off by using all four of their limbs and effectively 'pole-vaulting' over their wings using their leg muscles and pushing from the ground using their powerful arm muscles.
